<P>
An object that handles instantiating concrete
  classes of the various instances one needs for
  HSSF and XSSF.
 Works around a major shortcoming in Java, where we
  can't have static methods on interfaces or abstract
  classes.
 This allows you to get the appropriate class for
  a given interface, without you having to worry
  about if you're dealing with HSSF or XSSF, despite
  Java being quite rubbish.
